As illustrated in FIG. 2 which illustrates a structural schematic view of the cleaning rack and FIG. 3 which illustrates a structural schematic view of a single connecting rod of the cleaning rack. The cleaning rack 1 comprises a first connecting rod 101, a second connecting rod 102, a third connecting rod 103 and a fourth connecting rod 104. The first connecting rod 101, the second connecting rod 102, the third connecting rod 103 and the fourth connecting rod 104 form a frame, and preferably the frame is a rectangular frame such that the size of the body can be reduced and the flexibility thereof is improved. Preferably, the area of the cleaning rack 1 is 75% of the area of a photovoltaic panel such that not only can the cleaning effect of the photovoltaic panel be guaranteed, but also the weight of the body is not increased to prevent the photovoltaic panel from being damaged due to compression. The first connecting rod 101 and the third connecting rod 103 are used as short sides of the rectangular frame, and the second connecting rod 102 and the fourth connecting rod 104 are used as long sides of the rectangular frame. The first connecting rod 101, the second connecting rod 102, the third connecting rod 103 and the fourth connecting rod 104 are all made of an aluminum material such that the weight of the body can be reduced. Sliding grooves 105 are arranged in four side surfaces of each connecting rod of the cleaning rack.

One end of the second connecting rod 102 is fixedly connected with one end of the first connecting rod 101 by using a first T-shaped connecting plate 107, and the other end is fixedly connected with one end of the third connecting rod 103 by using a second T-shaped connecting plate 108; one end of the fourth connecting rod 104 is fixedly connected with the other end of the third connecting rod 103 by using a third T-shaped connecting plate 109, and the other end is fixedly connected with the other end of the first connecting rod 101 by using a fourth T-shaped connecting plate 1010; and by the connection mode of connecting all the connecting rods by using the T-shaped connecting plates, all the connecting rods in the cleaning rack 1 are detachably connected, such that the size of the cleaning rack 1 can be adjusted according to the model of the photovoltaic panel, the body can adapt to photovoltaic panels of different models and the assembling is facilitated. Since the photovoltaic panel to be cleaned and a mounting ground thereof form a certain angle, i.e., the body and the ground also form a certain angle when the body moves on the photovoltaic panel, one end, far away from the ground, of the photovoltaic panel is now called as an upper edge of the photovoltaic panel, and one end close to the ground is called as a lower edge of the photovoltaic panel. When the body is arranged on the photovoltaic panel, the first connecting rod 101 of the cleaning rack 1 is close to the upper edge of the photovoltaic panel and the third connecting rod 103 of the cleaning rack 1 is close to the lower edge of the photovoltaic panel.

As illustrated in FIG. 4 which illustrates a structural schematic view of the cleaning mechanism, the cleaning mechanism 3 comprises a cleaning rack, a cleaning member, a sweeping member and a cleaning member power unit. The cleaning member is used for stripping off adhesive materials on the photovoltaic panel, the sweeping member is used for sweeping away the stripped-off adhesive materials, and the cleaning member power unit is used for providing power to the cleaning member. Connection between the cleaning member and the cleaning rack and connection between the sweeping member and the cleaning rack are detachable connection such that the replacement and maintenance are easy to perform. Through the cooperation between the cleaning member and the sweeping member, the cleaning effect of the photovoltaic panel can be effectively improved.

The cleaning member comprises a first rolling brush 301 and a second rolling brush 302 which are coaxially connected. In a cleaning process, the first rolling brush 301 and the second rolling brush 302 simultaneously rotate. The cleaning rack further comprises a fifth connecting rod 1011, one end of the fifth connecting rod 1011 is fixedly connected with the second connecting rod 102 by using a fifth T-shaped connecting plate 1012 and the other end is fixedly connected with the fourth connecting rod 104 by using a sixth T-shaped connecting plate 1013. One end of the first rolling brush 301 is detachably mounted on the first connecting rod 101 and the other end is detachably mounted on the fifth connecting rod 1011. One end of the second rolling brush 302 is detachably mounted on the third connecting rod 103 and the other end is detachably mounted on the fifth connecting rod 1011. Of course, the cleaning member is not limited to the combination of the two rolling brushes, i.e. the first rolling brush 301 and the second rolling brush 302, the number of the rolling brushes may be adjusted according to the actual need, and for example, when the width of the photovoltaic panel to be cleaned is greater, the number of the rolling brushes may be increased.

The sweeping member comprises two first strip brushes 303 and two second strip brushes 304. The two first strip brushes 303 are both detachably mounted on the second connecting rod 102 and the two second strip brushes 304 are both detachably mounted on the fourth connecting rod 104. The structures of the strip brushes are the same. As illustrated in FIG. 5 which illustrates a structural schematic view of a strip brush, each strip brush comprises a strip brush rack 305 and a plurality of bristles 306, mounting holes 3051 are arranged in the strip brush rack 305, screws penetrate through the mounting holes 3051 to fix the strip brush rack 305 on the connecting rod, certain ends of the bristles 306 are fixed in bristle grooves 3052 in the strip brush rack 305, preferably the bristle grooves 3052 is filled with binder to fix the bristles 306 on the strip brush rack 305, and thereby in the cleaning process, the bristles can be effectively prevented from falling off and the service life of the sweeping member is prolonged. Since the sweeping member and the cleaning rack are detachably connected, the sweeping member can be conveniently replaced at any time. Preferably, the bristles 306 are made of nylon. By adopting nylon, the bristles 306 can be directly molten and solidified in the bristle grooves 3052 such that binder does not need to be used and the cost is reduced. Of course, the sweeping member is not limited to the combination of the two first strip brushes 303 and the two second strip brushes 304, the number of the strip brushes may be adjusted according to the actual need, and when the width of the photovoltaic panel to be cleaned is greater, the number of the strip brushes may be increased.

The cleaning member power unit comprises a rolling brush motor 307, the rolling brush motor 307 is mounted on the first connecting rod 101, of course may also be mounted on the third connecting rod 103 and is connected with the central controller 2, and the rolling brush motor 307 can be controlled to work by using the central controller 2 to control the cleaning member to rotate. The cleaning member power unit further comprises a self-locking device (which is similar or same as the self-locking unit of the self-locking mechanism 5), the self-locking device is located between the rolling brush motor 307 and the cleaning member, and when the rolling brush motor 307 is shut down (or stops), the cleaning member can be enabled to instantaneously stop rotating such that the cleaning member is prevented from idling, the unnecessary wear between the cleaning member and the photovoltaic panel is reduced and meanwhile sundries can be prevented from being twisted thereon.

The self-locking device comprises a worm gear and a worm. A power output shaft of the rolling brush motor 307 is connected with the worm, the worm is connected with the worm gear, and the worm gear and the first rolling brush 301 of the cleaning member are coaxially connected. When the rolling brush motor 307 is controlled to work by using the central controller, the power output shaft of the rolling brush motor 307 drives the worm to rotate, the worm drives the worm gear to rotate, the worm gear drives the first rolling brush 301 to rotate, the second rolling brush 302 also simultaneously rotates along with the first rolling brush 301, the bristles on the first rolling brush 301 and the second rolling brush 302 are quickly in contact with the panel surface of the photovoltaic panel to strip off the adhesive materials adhered onto the panel surface of the photovoltaic panel, the stripped-off adhesive materials are swept away by the first strip brushes 303 and the second strip brushes 304, and the rolling brush motor 307 is controlled to stop or shut off by using the central controller when sweeping is finished. Since the worm can drive the worm gear only and the worm gear cannot drive the worm, when the rolling brush motor 307 stops or shut off, the first rolling brush 301 and the second rolling brush 302 will instantaneously stop rotating.

Sometimes the adhesive materials on the photovoltaic panel are tightly adhered to the panel surface, and it is difficult to strip off the adhesive materials from the panel surface of the photovoltaic panel by solely using the cleaning member. The cleaning mechanism on the body of the photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment provided by the embodiment of the present invention further comprises a water spray device. The water spray device can spray water onto the photovoltaic panel to wet the adhesive materials (so as to possibly soften the adhesive materials for easier removal thereof) and as well as providing an effect of cooling down the photovoltaic panel.

As illustrated in FIGS. 6A and 6B which illustrates a structural schematic view of the water spray device, the water spray device comprises a water spray pipe 308 and a water storage tank 309. The water spray pipe 308 is communicated with the water storage tank 309. The water spray pipe 308 is detachably mounted on the sweeping member, and a plurality of spray nozzles 3081 used for atomizing water are arranged in the water spray pipe 308. The water storage tank 309 is detachably mounted on the cleaning rack 1, a water pressure pump 3091 is mounted in the water storage tank 309, and the water pressure pump 3091 is connected with the water spray pipe 308 and can pump water in the water storage tank 309 into the water spray pipe 308. The water pressure pump 3091 is connected with the central controller 2. The water pressure pump 3091 can be controlled to be started up and shut down at any time through using the central controller 2 such that the water pressure pump 3091 is controlled to spray water for cleaning the photovoltaic panel according to the need. Atomized water sprayed out by the spray nozzles 3081 can wet the photovoltaic panel in large area (and soften the adhesive materials thereon), and not only can the water be saved, but also the cleaning effect/performance of the photovoltaic panel can be improved. Besides, since the atomized water sprayed out by the spray nozzles 3081 can cover the photovoltaic panel in larger area, the water left remaining on the photovoltaic panel will be evaporated after the remained behind water is illuminated or irradiated by sunlight, and heat on the photovoltaic panel will be taken away or removed during evaporation of the remained-behind water, such that the photovoltaic panel is cooled down and the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel is thereby improved.

In order to accurately assess or know the situation or condition for detecting the amount of water in the water storage tank 309, a water amount detection and alarm device 3010 is further arranged in the water storage tank 309, alarm information is given out when the water amount detection and alarm device 3010 detects that the water storage tank 309 is in shortage of water and thereby a user is notified to replenish the water storage tank 309 with water. The water amount detection and alarm device 3010 can be implemented by a conventional water level indicator alarm available on the market. In order to enable the user to conveniently replenish the water storage tank 309 with water, the water spray device further comprises a water suction device 3011. Preferably, the water suction device is arranged on the water storage tank 309, and can be implemented by a conventional water pump. When the water amount detection and alarm device 3010 gives out alarm information, the user controls the body of the photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment by using the central controller to rapidly move to a water tank at a water getting point, and the water suction device 3011 sucks water from the external water tank and replenishes the water storage tank 309 with the water. Thereby, the body of the photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment can be enabled to be always under an optimum cleaning condition. The water spray device further comprises a path recording unit. The path recording unit is respectively connected with the water amount detection and alarm device and the central controller. When the water amount detection and alarm device detects that the water storage tank 309 is in shortage of water, the path recording unit can record distance data of movement of the body of the photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment from a water shortage point to the water getting point. After water is obtained, the central controller controls the body to move to the position of the water shortage point according to the distance data and then controls the cleaning mechanism to continuously perform remaining cleaning work until completion.

Thereby, when the body moves forwards or backwards on the photovoltaic panel, the acting pushing force is uniform and the body can be enabled to stably move on the photovoltaic panel. The first driven wheel 403 is detachably mounted at a junction between the first connecting rod 101 and the second connecting rod 102, and the second driven wheel 404 is detachably mounted at a junction between the fourth connecting rod 104 and the third connecting rod 103, i.e., the two driven wheels are diagonally mounted on the other diagonal line of the cleaning rack 1.

Besides, the self-locking mechanism can also enable the body to instantaneously stop on the photovoltaic panel such that the body is prevented from running out of the photovoltaic panel due to inertia and the body can be prevented from falling down due to the effect of gravity when the body is stopped on the photovoltaic panel with a gradient with respect to the ground.

The photovoltaic panels can be arranged in sequence or order as a photovoltaic panel array, and since the photovoltaic panels in the photovoltaic panel array may be not be arranged properly in flush (or not aligned in an organized manner) for a reason of being that the mounting ground or the body is caused to be inclined and even shake or shaking on the photovoltaic panel array during cleaning operation when the power drawn (electric power provided to) the body is not uniform or consistent, the body cannot stably move and thereby the cleaning effect/performance of the photovoltaic panels is reduced. Therefore, the body further comprises a correction mechanism 6. As illustrated in FIG. 9 which illustrates a structural schematic view of the correction mechanism 6 mounted on the cleaning rack 1, the correction mechanism 6 comprises a first correction guide wheel 601 and a second correction guide wheel 602. The first correction guide wheel 601 and the second correction guide wheel 602 are both detachably-mounted on the third connecting rod 103.

As illustrated in FIG. 10 which illustrates a schematic view of an included angle between a correction guide wheel and a driving wheel, the first correction guide wheel 601 and the third driving wheel 405 form an included angle of a, where 0°<a≤5°; the second correction guide wheel 602 and the fourth driving wheel 406 form an included angle of b, where 0°<b≤5°; and preferably, the included angle a is equal to the included angle b. Since the first correction guide wheel 601 and the third driving wheel 405 form the included angle a and the second correction guide wheel 602 and the fourth driving wheel 406 form the included angle b, when the body is not inclined on the photovoltaic panel, the first correction guide wheel 601 and the second correction guide wheel 602 are not in contact with the side surface of the lower edge of the photovoltaic panel, and only when the body is inclined on the photovoltaic panel and an inclination angle c satisfies 0°<c≤5°, the first correction guide wheel 601 and the second correction guide wheel 602 are in contact with the side surface of the lower edge of the photovoltaic panel, such that the body can stably move on the photovoltaic panel without shaking.

Sometimes an included angle between the photovoltaic panel to be cleaned and the ground is possibly close to 90°, when the body moves on the photovoltaic panel at this moment, the body may fall off from the photovoltaic panel. The body further comprises an anti-falling mechanism 7. The anti-falling mechanism 7 is detachably mounted on the cleaning rack 1 and is used for preventing the body from falling off from the photovoltaic panel.

As illustrated in FIG. 11 which illustrates a structural schematic view of the anti-falling mechanism mounted on the cleaning rack, the anti-falling mechanism comprises a first hook and a second hook. Of course, the anti-falling mechanism may also adopt just one hook instead of two hooks. The first hook and the second hook are detachably mounted on the first connecting rod 101. Each of the first hook and the second hook comprises a fixed part 701 and an anti-falling part 702, the fixed part 701 is used for being fixed on the cleaning rack 1 by using screws and the anti-falling part 702 is used for fastening the photovoltaic panel. Preferably, the fixed part 701 and the anti-falling part 702 are connected perpendicular to each other, i.e., the first hook and the second hook are both in L-shaped structures. When the body normally moves on the photovoltaic panel, the anti-falling parts 702 of the first hook and the second hook are not in contact with the photovoltaic panel. Preferably, the first hook and the second hook are respectively and detachably mounted on the two sides of the rolling brush motor 307. Thereby, when the body is hung on the photovoltaic panel, the pressure or force applied by the body to the upper edge of the photovoltaic panel can be better distributed to prevent the photovoltaic panel from being damaged.

As illustrated in FIG. 12 which illustrates a structural schematic view of another anti-falling mechanism mounted on the cleaning rack, a difference between the hook in the anti-falling mechanism and the hook illustrated in FIG. 11 lies in that a plurality of through holes 703 are vertically arranged in the respective fixed part of the first hook and the second hook, screws are inserted into different through holes and are tightened with the cleaning rack, and thereby the adjustment of the distance between the anti-falling part 702 of the hook and the cleaning rack can be realized such that the anti-falling mechanism can better adapt to photovoltaic panels with different thickness.

The central controller 2 judges whether there are damaged photovoltaic panels in the photovoltaic panels through which the body passes according to the acquired temperature data and position data. If there are damaged photovoltaic panels, the central controller will notify maintenance personnel about the position information of the damaged photovoltaic panels by using a display device or by means of short messages or voice messages, such that the maintenance personnel maintain the damaged photovoltaic panels as soon as possible.
